Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow ✨
-
That quote really spoke to me today ☺️ I found these sweet flowers on my desk this morning (a gift from my fiancé 💕) and it made me realize how grateful I am for him and for our life together. Things have been very busy lately but in the best possible way. I’m embracing the hecticness 🙌🏻 I’m also feeling grateful that I’m able to exercise every day and that I have a partner who is just as enthusiastic about eating healthy & living an active life like I am 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️ Practicing #gratitude for anything, no matter the size is a surefire way to enhance your day ☀️ Oh and a #poke salad for lunch doesn’t hurt either 😝 xx #tiuteam#tiucheckin#tiubikiniseries

Do you relate to this?
-
Maybe you’ve lost weight before and gained it back? If you’ve lost weight before, I feel safe making that guess about you — 95% of people who lose weight gain it back.
-
And the 5 percent who didn’t aren’t reading this.
-
I’ve got some important news for you. It’s both not what you want to hear, but it’s unquestionably important.
-
The faster you lose it, the faster and more likely you are to gain it back. I’ve been there, done that, how about you?
-
The more you lower calories early and the harder you work with excessive cardio and HIIT the more risk there is.
-
My bet is, if you’ve lost weight and gained it back, you had two big problems.
-
1. Unrealistic expectations
2. Impatience
-
Best way to fight with your metabolism is to deprive it of calories and pound it with constant workouts.
-
Your metabolism isn’t stuck, it fluctuates.
-
You watch results you see online that happen in 3 months without a clue what happened after — if they were even real — and you go try and accomplish the same thing.
-
Impatience.
-
When making your plan, you also didn’t account for the work stress, birthday parties, wedding weekend and that labour day weekend down by the lake.
-
You have a life. And you gotta live a little. But it wasnt in your plan.
-
Unrealistic expectations.
-
So what’s the solution?
-
Lower calories slowly and start with a mild deficit. Maybe even better, see if by strength training your waist shrinks right around maintenance calories.
-
Then when you need, lower calories slowly.
-
When you’ve lost a certain amount of weight or inches, plan a break and let your body rebound over the course of a weekend, or a week or two.
-
Weight loss will be easier after that and if you do it properly, you won’t gain the weight back.
-
And even if you do add a few pounds, what you get back in metabolism is worth it anyways.
-
Go slow and keep your results. Go fast and be part of that 95% that can’t keep it off.
-
It’s an important topic, please let me know what your questions are.
